MYROllI F. HILL, OF NEW YORK, iii, .fiSSIGNOB TO CAST Ell-III? CORPORATION A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.

SHIP.

Application fi1ed December 19, 1918.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MYRON F. HILL, of New York city, county and State, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ships, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to ships, and particularly to standardizing the sections to one substantially typical form which is preferably continuous throughout the ship for shell, tank top, decks and bulkheads. subject merely to variations in dimensions and to a slight modification for the bilge and other minor parts. This system is of particular alue when the sections are made of cast steel since it simplifies foundry work to a remarkable extent and makes it possible to build ships with the simplest foundry processes.

My invention relates to further features of construction and details which will appear in the further description.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 shows the general lines of the ship.

Fig. 2 shows the profile of the forward half.

Fig. 3 a profile of the after half of the ship.

Figs. l and 5 show the shell expansion.

Figs. 6 and 7 show the shelter deck, and the arrangement of hatchways and deck beams.

Fig. 8 shows a midship section.

Fig. 9 shows the arrangement of floors, and their relation to the tank top and outer bottom.

Fig. 10 shows the keel and the plan of assembling its sections.

Fig. ll shows the method of welding the l/IEU'lS VBI'SG frames to the tank top.

Figs. 12 and 13 show a method of attaching stanchions to the deck beams.

Figs. 1a and 15 illustrate sections of hatchways.

Fig. 16 shows a midship section at the boiler space. I

Figs. 17 and 18 illustrate the upper deck.

Fig. 19 illustrates the bridge deck.-

Fig. 20' shows the poop deck.
